Tree of the Week showcases some of the biggest and most beautiful trees in the GTA, as compiled by Megan Ogilvie. Here, Catherine Broatman of Toronto tells us about the large willow she sees every week on her Sunday trips to Ward’s Island. This massive willow growing on Ward's Island is “just plain beautiful,” writes Catherine Broatman. For many of the thousands of visitors who pass this tree each summer as they head to Ward’s Island Beach, it’s a photo-op. For year-round residents, it’s a symbol of resilience, having survived ice storms, high winds, severe floods.
